0:00.0	What's it like to tell the MMA mixed martial arts champion of the world that basically you
0:14.8	want to fight him and destroy him?
0:17.4	Well, I'm about to find out in this episode, but even more importantly, one of the most
0:23.8	important concepts I wrote about in my book Skip the Line was this concept I always use
0:29.3	this technique I always use when I want to learn something very fast.
0:32.9	It's a great technique, it works phenomenally well, and I call it plus minus equals.
0:38.9	The idea is, if you want to learn something, let's say you want to get better at tennis

1:20.2	And I find this a useful tool, not only of course in sports or educational learning, but
1:25.0	in business, like when I, the very first time I became an entrepreneur, I had a company
1:29.2	that made websites for other companies, and very quickly I got to know the CEOs and founders
1:35.9	of the other companies, particularly in New York City, that were doing the same thing.
1:41.1	And we would run into each other all the time, we would run into each other going in and
1:44.1	out of clients' offices while we were competing for business, we would run into each other
1:48.1	parties, we would call each other up and have lunch or dinner sometimes just to compare
